Refer-a-Client Terms and Conditions

Home » Refer-a-Client Terms and Conditions

1. Introduction

  • This Refer-a-Client Scheme (the "Scheme") is offered by Spinnaker Global Ltd ("Spinnaker", "we", "us", "our") to thank referrers ("referrer", "you") for introducing potential employer clients ("clients") who engage us to handle recruitment vacancies. By participating in the Scheme, you agree to these Terms and Conditions.

2. Eligibility

  • The referrer must be over 18 years of age.
  • We will pay a referral fee even if the hiring company is already a client of Spinnaker unless we would have received the recruitment instruction anyway (the onus of proof is upon us if we believe that is the case).

3. Payment Terms

  • If Spinnaker fills the vacancy (or vacancies) arising as a result of the client referral, the referrer will receive a £1,000 referral fee (or fees if the referral results in more than one placement).
  • Payment will be made within 30 days of the recruitment fee(s) earned from the referred client becoming non-refundable (which is usually three months after the candidate's start date).
  • Payments will be made via bank transfer. The referrer is responsible for providing accurate payment details and may choose to direct the payment to a charity should they wish to do so.

4. Referral Process

Referrals may be made in a number of ways:

  • Via the Refer-a-Client form on www.spinnaker-global.com
  • Directly to a Spinnaker employee as long as this is evidenced in writing, refers to the Refer-a-Client Scheme and provides the client's name, contact details, and any relevant information to support the introduction.
  • Directly to the referred client who, at the time of instructing us, notifies us that they have been referred by you.

5. Data Protection

  • You must not be in breach of GDPR or other local data protection legislation by referring the client to us.
  • We will process all data provided in accordance with the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and our Privacy Policy, available on our website.

6. Exclusions and Limitations

  • The Scheme applies only to permanent and fixed-term contract recruitment services of at least three months duration; it does not apply to temporary or freelance placements (of which we do very little).
  • The Scheme is not intended to pay referral fees for repeat / future business that may arise following the initial referral.
  • No referral fee will be payable if:
    • We have to refund the recruitment fee(s).
    • The referred client declines our services or withdraws from the recruitment process.
    • The referred client would have instructed Spinnaker without the referral (the onus of proof is upon us if we believe that is the case).
    • The referrer is an employee, contractor, or immediate family member of an employee or contractor of Spinnaker.
    • The referrer is breaching their contract of employment or any other contract by referring the client to us.
    • The referral puts the referrer or Spinnaker in breach of the Bribery Act or similar non-UK legislation.
    • The referral fee would in any way constitute an inducement for an action which is illegal, unethical or a breach of trust.
  • Only one referral fee will be paid per referred client. If multiple referrers refer the same client, the fee will be paid to the eligible referrer who made the referral first.

7. Taxation

Referral fees could be considered taxable income; it is the responsibility of the referrer to declare the payment to their tax authority and pay any taxes due.

8. Termination and Amendment

  • We reserve the right to amend or terminate the Scheme at any time without notice.
  • Any referrals submitted before termination or amendment will be honoured in accordance with the Terms and Conditions in effect at the time of the referral.

9. General

The Scheme is governed by the laws of England and Wales.
